Wondering if anyone has had this new tech used with tinnitus?

The device claims:

"the high-tech irrigation process of the GentleWave System harnesses optimized procedure fluids, vertical flow and broad-spectrum acoustic energies to debride and disinfect the root canal system—even the undetected, uninstrumented spaces—with a minimally invasive protocol that leaves more of the tooth structure intact."​

Biggest concerns are of course, whatever this acoustic energy is, and concern about bond conduction and closeness to the inner ear. I can't find anyone who knows about it and its noise potential to the inner ear.

Just like the horror stories with the ultra sonic cleaners that many fell victim too, I definitely don't want to go in blind with this new tech. Anyone who has had, or knows about it that can chime in, I'd appreciate it.
